To be fair, I did successfully run Linux for a month but the hardware was too slow.

Limon found new homies 😉

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Limon does not approve tho

nice homie you got there 😛

me and my homies

SSH exists 😄

It's probably not very heavy... I don't really know because I only use cli 🙈

Here's a question... How much overhead does a linux window manager add to make it a bit more friendly?
Just remembered another reason, remote access. Ostracise me if you must but RDP > VNC any day!

As long as the selfie stick works and they have a platform it all good

And the new generations will only know how to turn on tiktok, facebook and instagram

So that's why windows can do this

let alone use linux

I mean where I work people can't even copy a file sometimes

Well on the other hand windows is user friendly

Yeah this is just consumer pricing :p I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw how much we pay for Windows at $dayjob

257 euros i pay them for my car loan

I never believed people pay that much

Well i don't spend anything near that amount. I think my expenses are around 10 euros per month 😂

Not to mention the waste on your wallet!

I use both, the waste windows has on cpu and ram is extraordinary

Linux will always be the best for any kind of hosting

$63 is the cost of Windows server because it's 15 GB of memory.

Where do you see that? :O Storage is way cheaper than that

I could send them a M.2 for $63 with 1tb of storage

Yeah but $63 a month for 15gb of storage? Hetzner outta control with that!

Tldr, daddy M$oft needs money :p

Not sure but Hetzner charges $63 a month to have Windows server.

I don't get a choice. I host where I host because I'm not home to restart it if it goes down.
And switching to Linux to run commands is very different thank switching a server with 400+ people connecting a week and over 120 mods.
If one letter isn't capitalized... Server save can be corrupted.

but I decided I didn't want the stress of learning linux added to being an admin/mod. Both are labours of love but the more labour there is, the less love there is! 😄

I gave it serious consideration when we upgraded our dedi a while back!

<a:pepezombie_pykamy:1278913021598765057>

but per month

I understand a one time set up fee

Why does windows cost 63 a month?

I think you all need to switch to Linux . If limon can do it.. :p

That's why I wanted to start the discussion regarding hosts. :))

I'm sorry for your loss Catalysm, Prisma was a great partner to have. Hoping you'd get more great partners and that he may turn around when he cools off.

Noooo 🙃

We deleted the messages to reduce drama

Where can I find Prisma's reason for the US citizen boycott? 👀
Very curious now lol

You silly sausage! Mad is Mad. I'm Trevor!

You guys are MAD !

Also just having windows costs another $63 a month pushing it really close to the US price

When I win the lotto I'll upgrade us, of course 😄 Any day now...

So as much as I'd like the better CPU, for small benefit and potential cost, and the fuss of setting everything up on new hardware... meh. Too much trouble!
